Almost no matter which Chinese city you visit – Shanghai, Beijing, Hong Kong, Singapore, or Guilin (below) – you’ll spot people individually or in groups, in parks, on esplanades, and other public places, performing the slow, fluid, elegant movements that are a hallmark of the centuries-old discipline of tai chi chuan and its closely related, overlapping form qigong. And increasingly, you´ll see them practiced elsewhere in the world, as well (just yesterday I spotted two women doing morning tai chi on the beach in Spain´s seaside resort city Torremolinos).
